Philippians 2
1 Wherefore, if there be any consolation in Christ; if any comfort of love; if any fellowship of the Spirit; if any sympathies and tender mercies,
ⲁ̅ⲥⲟⲡⲥ̅ ϭⲉ ⲛⲓⲙ ⲉⲧϩⲙ̅ⲡⲉⲭ̅ⲥ̅. ⲥⲟⲗⲥⲗ̅ ⲛⲓⲙ ⲛ̅ⲁⲅⲁⲡⲏ. ⲕⲟⲓⲛⲱⲛⲓⲁ ⲛⲓⲙ ⲛ̅ⲧⲉⲡⲉⲡ̅ⲛ̅ⲁ̅. ⲙⲛ̅ⲧⲛⲁⲏⲧ ⲛⲓⲙ. ϩⲓⲙⲛ̅ⲧϣⲁⲛϩ̅ⲧⲏϥ.
2 complete this my joy, that you be likeminded; having the very same love, being unanimous, minding the one thing.
ⲃ̅ϫⲱⲕ ⲉⲃⲟⲗ ⲙ̅ⲡⲁⲣⲁϣⲉ. ϫⲉ ⲉⲧⲉⲧⲛⲉⲙⲉⲉⲩⲉ ⲉⲩⲙⲉⲉⲩⲉ ⲛ̅ⲟⲩⲱⲧ. ⲉⲩⲛ̅ⲧⲏⲧⲛ̅ ⲙ̅ⲙⲁⲩ ⲛ̅ⲧⲉⲉⲓⲁⲅⲁⲡⲏ ⲛ̅ⲟⲩⲱⲧ. ⲉⲧⲉⲧⲛ̅ⲟ ⲛ̅ⲟⲩϩⲏⲧ ⲛ̅ⲟⲩⲱⲧ. ⲟⲩⲙⲉⲉⲩⲉ ⲛ̅ⲟⲩⲱⲧ.
3 Let nothing be done through strife or vainglory, but, in humbleness of mind esteem each other better that yourselves:
ⲅ̅ⲉⲛⲧⲉⲧⲛ̅ⲣ̅ⲗⲁⲁⲩ ⲁⲛ ⲕⲁⲧⲁⲟⲩϯⲧⲱⲛ. ⲟⲩⲇⲉ ⲕⲁⲧⲁⲟⲩⲙⲛ̅ⲧϣⲟⲩϣⲟ. ⲁⲗⲗⲁ ϩⲙ̅ⲡⲉⲑⲃ̅ⲃⲓⲟ ⲉⲧⲉⲧⲛ̅ϫⲓⲥⲉ ⲛ̅ⲛⲉⲧⲛ̅ⲉⲣⲏⲩ ⲉⲣⲱⲧⲛ̅.
4 not aiming every one at his own interests, but every one also, at the interests of the others.
ⲇ̅ⲉⲙⲡⲟⲩⲁ ⲡⲟⲩⲁ ϣⲓⲛⲉ ⲁⲛ ⲛ̅ⲥⲁⲧⲉϥⲛⲟϥⲣⲉ. ⲁⲗⲗⲁ ⲧⲁϩⲉⲛⲕⲟⲟⲩⲉ.
5 Now let this disposition be in you which was also in Christ Jesus;
ⲉ̅ⲡⲁⲓ̈ ⲙⲉⲉⲩⲉ ⲉⲣⲟϥ ⲛ̅ϩⲏⲧⲛ̅. ⲡⲁⲓ̈ ⲟⲛ ⲉⲧϩⲙ̅ⲡⲉⲭ̅ⲥ̅ ⲓ̅ⲥ̅.
6 who, though he was in the form of God, did not affect to appear in divine majesty;
ⲋ̅ⲡⲁⲓ̈ ⲉϥϩⲛ̅ⲟⲩⲙⲟⲣⲫⲏ ⲛ̅ⲧⲉⲡⲛⲟⲩⲧⲉ. ⲉⲙⲡϥ̅ⲟⲡϥ̅ ⲉⲩⲧⲱⲣⲡ̅ ⲉϣⲁϣϥ̅ ⲙⲛ̅ⲡⲛⲟⲩⲧⲉ.
7 but divested himself, taking upon him the form of a servant, being made in the likeness of men;
ⲍ̅ⲁⲗⲗⲁ ⲁϥⲡⲱϩⲧ̅ ⲙ̅ⲙⲟϥ ⲉⲃⲟⲗ. ⲉⲁϥϫⲓ ⲛ̅ⲟⲩⲙⲟⲣⲫⲏ ⲛ̅ϩⲙ̅ϩⲁⲗ. ⲉⲁϥϣⲱⲡⲉ ⲛ̅ⲥⲙⲟⲧ ⲛ̅ⲣⲱⲙⲉ. ⲁⲩⲱ ϩⲙ̅ⲡⲉⲥⲭⲏⲙⲁ ⲁⲩϩⲉ ⲉⲣⲟϥ ϩⲱⲥ ⲣⲱⲙⲉ.
8 and being found in fashion as a man, he humbled himself, and became obedient to death, even the death of the cross.
ⲏ̅ⲁϥⲑⲃ̅ⲃⲓⲟϥ ⲉⲁϥϣⲱⲡⲉ ⲛ̅ⲥⲧⲙⲏⲧ ϣⲁϩⲣⲁⲓ̈ ⲉⲡⲙⲟⲩ. ⲟⲩⲙⲟⲩ ⲇⲉ ⲛ̅ⲥ̅xⲟ̅ⲥ̅·
9 And for this reason, God has exceedingly exalted him, and has bestowed on him a name which is above every name;
ⲑ̅ⲉⲧⲃⲉⲡⲁⲓ̈ ϩⲱⲱϥ ⲁⲡⲛⲟⲩⲧⲉ ϫⲁⲥⲧϥ̅ ⲛ̅ϩⲟⲩⲟ. ⲁϥⲭⲁⲣⲓⲍⲉ ⲛⲁϥ ⲙ̅ⲡⲣⲁⲛ ⲉⲧϩⲓϫⲛ̅ⲣⲁⲛ ⲛⲓⲙ.
10 that, at the name of Jesus, every knee should bow; of those in heaven, and upon the earth, and under the earth;
ⲓ̅ϫⲉⲕⲁⲁⲥ ϩⲙ̅ⲡⲣⲁⲛ ⲛ̅ⲓ̅ⲥ̅ ⲉⲣⲉⲡⲁⲧ ⲛⲓⲙ ⲕⲱⲗϫ̅ ⲛⲉⲧϩⲛ̅ⲙ̅ⲡⲏⲩⲉ. ⲁⲩⲱ ⲛⲉⲧϩⲓϫⲙ̅ⲡⲕⲁϩ. ⲙⲛ̅ⲛⲉⲧϩⲁⲡⲉⲥⲏⲧ ⲙ̅ⲡⲕⲁϩ.
11 and that every tongue should confess that Jesus Christ is Lord, to the glory of God the Father.
ⲓ̅ⲁ̅ⲛ̅ⲧⲉⲗⲁⲥ ⲛⲓⲙ ⲉⲝⲟⲙⲟⲗⲟⲅⲉⲓ ϫⲉ ⲡϫⲟⲉⲓⲥ ⲡⲉ ⲓ̅ⲥ̅ ⲡⲉⲭ̅ⲥ̅ ⲉⲡⲉⲟⲟⲩ ⲙ̅ⲡⲛⲟⲩⲧⲉ ⲡⲉⲓⲱⲧ.
12 Wherefore, my beloved, since you have always obeyed, not in my presence only, but now much more in my absence; effectually work out your own salvation, with fear and trembling;
ⲓ̅ⲃ̅ϩⲱⲥⲧⲉ ⲛⲁⲙⲉⲣⲁⲧⲉ ⲕⲁⲧⲁⲑⲉ ⲉⲛⲧⲁⲧⲉⲧⲛ̅ⲥⲱⲧⲙ̅ ⲛ̅ⲟⲩⲟⲉⲓϣ ⲛⲓⲙ ⲉⲉⲓϩⲁⲧⲉⲧⲏⲩⲧⲛ̅ ⲁⲛ ⲙ̅ⲙⲁⲧⲉ. ⲁⲗⲗⲁ ⲧⲉⲛⲟⲩ ⲛ̅ϩⲟⲩⲟ ⲉⲛϯϩⲁⲧⲉⲧⲏⲩⲧⲛ̅ (ⲁⲛ). ϩⲛ̅ⲟⲩϩⲟⲧⲉ ⲙⲛ̅ⲟⲩⲥⲧⲱⲧ ⲁⲣⲓϩⲱⲃ ⲉⲡⲉⲧⲛ̅ⲟⲩϫⲁⲓ̈.
13 for it is God who works effectually in you, both to will and to perform, on account of his benevolence.
ⲓ̅ⲅ̅ⲡⲛⲟⲩⲧⲉ ⲅⲁⲣ ⲡⲉⲧⲉⲛⲉⲣⲅⲓ ⲛ̅ϩⲏⲧⲛ̅ ⲙ̅ⲡⲟⲩⲱϣ. ⲙⲛ̅ⲡϫⲱⲕ ⲉⲃⲟⲗ ⲙ̅ⲡⲟⲩⲱϣ.
14 Do all things without murmurings and disputings;
ⲓ̅ⲇ̅ⲁⲣⲓϩⲱⲃ ⲛⲓⲙ ⲁϫⲛ̅ⲕⲣⲙ̅ⲣⲙ̅ ϩⲓⲙⲟⲕⲙⲉⲕ.
15 that you may be blameless and harmless, the children of God, unblemished in the midst of a crooked and perverse race; among whom shine as lights in the world,
ⲓ̅ⲉ̅ϫⲉⲕⲁⲁⲥ ⲉⲧⲉⲧⲛⲉϣⲱⲡⲉ ⲛ̅ⲁⲧⲛⲟⲃⲉ. ⲁⲩⲱ ⲛ̅ⲁⲕⲉⲣⲁⲓⲟⲥ ⲛ̅ϣⲏⲣⲉ ⲙ̅ⲡⲛⲟⲩⲧⲉ ⲉⲩⲟⲩⲁⲁⲃ. ⲛ̅ⲧⲙⲏⲧⲉ ⲛ̅ⲧⲅⲉⲛⲉⲁ ⲉⲧϭⲟⲟⲩϭ. ⲁⲩⲱ ⲉⲧϭⲟⲟⲙⲉ. ⲉⲧⲉⲧⲛ̅ⲟⲩⲟⲛϩ̅ ⲉⲃⲟⲗ ⲛ̅ϩⲏⲧⲟⲩ ⲛ̅ⲑⲉ ⲛ̅ⲛⲓⲣⲉϥⲣ̅ⲟⲩⲟⲉⲓⲛ ϩⲙ̅ⲡⲕⲟⲥⲙⲟⲥ.
16 holding forth the word of life; that I may rejoice in the day of Christ, that I have not run in vain, nor have labored in vain.
ⲓ̅ⲋ̅ⲉⲧⲉⲧⲛ̅ϭⲉⲉⲧ ⲉⲡϣⲁϫⲉ ⲙ̅ⲡⲱⲛϩ̅ ⲉⲩϣⲟⲩϣⲟⲩ ⲛⲁⲓ̈ ⲉⲡⲉϩⲟⲟⲩ ⲙ̅ⲡⲉⲭ̅ⲥ̅. ϫⲉ ⲛ̅ⲧⲁⲓ̈ⲡⲱⲧ ⲁⲛ ⲉⲡϫⲓⲛϫⲏ. ⲟⲩⲇⲉ ⲛⲧⲁⲉⲓϣⲡ̅ϩⲓⲥⲉ ⲁⲛ ⲉⲡϫⲓⲛϫⲏ.
17 Yes, and if I be made a drink-offering upon the sacrifice and ministry of your faith, I joy and rejoice with you all;
ⲓ̅ⲍ̅ⲁⲗⲗⲁ ⲉϣϫⲉⲥⲉⲟⲩⲱⲧⲛ̅ ⲙ̅ⲙⲟⲓ̈ ⲉϫⲛ̅ⲧⲉⲑⲩⲥⲓⲁ. ⲙⲛ̅ⲧⲗⲓⲧⲟⲩⲣⲅⲓⲁ ⲛ̅ⲧⲉⲧⲛ̅ⲡⲓⲥⲧⲓⲥ· ϯⲣⲁϣⲉ ⲁⲩⲱ ϯ(ⲛⲁ)ⲣⲁϣⲉ ⲛⲙ̅ⲙⲏⲧⲛ̅ ⲧⲏⲣⲧⲛ̅.
18 and for the same do you also joy and rejoice with me.
ⲓ̅ⲏ̅ⲛ̅ⲧⲱⲧⲛ̅ ϩⲱⲧⲧⲏⲩⲧⲛ̅ ⲣⲁϣⲉ. ⲁⲩⲱ ⲛ̅ⲧⲉⲧⲛ̅ⲣⲁϣⲉ ⲛⲙ̅ⲙⲁⲓ̈.
19 Now I hope in the Lord Jesus to send Timothy to you soon, that I also may be of good courage, that I also may be of good courage, when I know your affairs.
ⲓ̅ⲑ̅ϯⲙⲉⲉⲩⲉ ⲇⲉ ϩⲙ̅ⲡϫⲟⲉⲓⲥ ⲓ̅ⲥ̅ ⲉⲧⲛ̅ⲛⲉⲩⲧⲓⲙⲟⲑⲉⲟⲥ ⲛⲏⲧⲛ̅ ϩⲛ̅ⲟⲩϭⲉⲡⲏ. ϫⲉⲕⲁⲁⲥ ⲉⲣⲉⲡⲁϩⲏⲧ ϩⲱ ⲙ̅ⲧⲟⲛ. ⲉⲁⲓ̈ⲉⲓⲙⲉ ⲉⲡⲉⲧⲛ̅ⲟⲩⲱ.
20 For I have no one like disposed, who will sincerely take care of your affairs;
ⲕ̅ⲙⲛ̅ϯⲗⲁⲁⲩ ⲅⲁⲣ ⲙ̅ⲙⲁⲩ ⲉϥⲛⲏⲩ ⲉϩⲙ̅ⲡⲁϩⲏⲧ ⲡⲁⲓ̈ ⲉⲧⲛⲁϥⲓⲡⲉⲧⲛ̅ⲣⲟⲟⲩϣ ϩⲛ̅ⲟⲩⲱⲣϫ̅.
21 for all seek their own, not the things of Jesus Christ.
ⲕ̅ⲁ̅ⲉⲣⲉⲟⲩⲟⲛ ⲅⲁⲣ ⲛⲓⲙ ϣⲓⲛⲉ ⲛ̅ⲥⲁⲛⲉⲧⲉⲛⲟⲩⲟⲩ ⲛⲉ. ⲛ̅ⲛⲁⲡⲉⲭ̅ⲥ̅ ⲁⲛ ⲓ̅ⲥ̅.
22 But you know the proof of him, that, as a son with a father, so he has served with me in the gospel.
ⲕ̅ⲃ̅ⲧⲉⲧⲛ̅ⲉⲓⲙⲉ ⲇⲉ ⲉⲧⲉϥⲇⲟⲕⲓⲙⲏ. ϫⲉ ⲛ̅ⲑⲉ ⲛ̅ⲟⲩϣⲏⲣⲉ ⲙ̅ⲡⲉϥⲉⲓⲱⲧ ⲁϥⲣ̅ϩⲙ̅ϩⲁⲗ ⲛⲙ̅ⲙⲁⲓ̈ ⲉⲡⲉⲩⲁⲅⲅⲉⲗⲓⲟⲛ.
23 Now, indeed, I hope to send him immediately, as soon as I shall see how it will go with me.
ⲕ̅ⲅ̅ⲡⲁⲓ̈ ϭⲉ ϯⲙⲉⲉⲩⲉ ⲉⲧⲛ̅ⲛⲟⲟⲩϥ ⲛ̅ⲧⲉⲩⲛⲟⲩ ⲉⲓ̈ϣⲁⲛⲉⲓⲙⲉ ⲉⲛⲉⲧϣⲟⲟⲡ ⲙ̅ⲙⲟⲓ̈·
24 However, I am fully persuaded by the Lord, that even I myself shall soon come.
ⲕ̅ⲇ̅ϯⲛⲁϩⲧⲉ ⲇⲉ ϩⲙ̅ⲡϫⲟⲉⲓⲥ ϫⲉ ⲁⲛⲟⲕ ϩⲱⲱⲧ ⲟⲛ ϯⲛⲏⲩ ϩⲛ̅ⲟⲩϭⲉⲡⲏ ϣⲁⲣⲱⲧⲛ̅.
25 Yet I thought it necessary to send to you Epaphroditus, my brother and fellowlaborer, and fellowsoldier; but your Apostle, and a minister to my want.
ⲕ̅ⲉ̅ⲁⲓ̈ⲟⲡϥ̅ ⲇⲉ ϫⲉ ⲡⲉⲧⲉϣϣⲉ ⲡⲉ ⲉⲧⲛ̅ⲛⲟⲟⲩ ϣⲁⲣⲱⲧⲛ̅ ⲛ̅ⲉⲡⲁⲫⲣⲟⲇⲓⲧⲟⲥ ⲡⲥⲟⲛ. ⲡⲁϣⲃⲣ̅ⲣ̅ϩⲱⲃ. ⲁⲩⲱ ⲡⲁϣⲃⲣ̅ⲙⲁⲧⲟⲓ̈. ⲉⲡⲉⲧⲛ̅ⲁⲡⲟⲥⲧⲟⲗⲟⲥ ⲇⲉ ⲡⲉ. ⲁⲩⲱ ⲡⲗⲓⲧⲟⲩⲣⲅⲟⲥ ⲛ̅ⲧⲁⲭⲣⲓⲁ.
26 For he longed after you all, and was exceedingly grieved, because you had heard that he had been sick.
ⲕ̅ⲋ̅ⲉⲡⲉⲓⲇⲏ ⲛⲉϥⲟⲩⲉϣⲧⲏⲩⲧⲛ̅ ⲧⲏⲣⲧⲛ̅. ⲁⲩⲱ ⲉϥⲙⲟⲕϩ̅ ⲉⲡⲉϥϩⲏⲧ ⲉⲃⲟⲗ ϫⲉ ⲁⲧⲉⲧⲛ̅ⲥⲱⲧⲙ̅ ϫⲉ ⲁϥϣⲱⲛⲉ.
27 And, indeed, he was sick nigh to death: but God had mercy on him; and not on him only, but on me also, that I might not have sorrow upon sorrow.
ⲕ̅ⲍ̅ⲕⲁⲓⲅⲁⲣ ⲁϥϣⲱⲛⲉ ⲁϥϩⲱⲛ ⲉϩⲟⲩⲛ ⲉⲡⲙⲟⲩ. ⲁⲗⲗⲁ ⲁⲡⲛⲟⲩⲧⲉ ⲛⲁ ⲛⲁϥ. ⲛⲁϥ ⲇⲉ ⲙⲁⲩⲁⲁϥ ⲁⲛ ⲁⲗⲗⲁ ⲛⲁⲓ̈ ϩⲱ. ϫⲉⲕⲁⲁⲥ ⲉⲛⲛⲁϫⲓ ⲛ̅ⲟⲩⲗⲩⲡⲏ ⲉϫⲛ̅ⲟⲩⲗⲩⲡⲏ.
28 Wherefore I have sent him the more speedily, that seeing him again, you may rejoice, and that I may be the more free from sorrow.
ⲕ̅ⲏ̅ⲁⲓ̈ⲧⲛ̅ⲛⲟⲟⲩϥ ϭⲉ ϩⲛ̅ⲟⲩϭⲉⲡⲏ. ϫⲉⲕⲁⲁⲥ ⲉⲁⲧⲉⲧⲛ̅ⲛⲁⲩ ⲉⲣⲟϥ ⲛ̅ⲧⲉⲧⲛ̅ⲣⲁϣⲉ ⲟⲛ. ⲁⲛⲟⲕ ϩⲱ ⲛ̅ⲧⲁϣⲱⲡⲉ ⲁϫⲛ̅ⲗⲩⲡⲏ.
29 Receive him, therefore, in the Lord, with all joy, and have such persons in great estimation;
ⲕ̅ⲑ̅ϣⲟⲡϥ̅ ϭⲉ ⲉⲣⲱⲧⲛ̅ ϩⲙ̅ⲡϫⲟⲉⲓⲥ ϩⲛ̅ⲣⲁϣⲉ ⲛⲓⲙ. ⲁⲩⲱ ⲛ̅ⲧⲉⲧⲛ̅ⲕⲱ ⲛⲏⲧⲛ̅ ⲛ̅ⲛⲁⲓ̈ ⲛ̅ⲧⲉⲉⲓⲙⲓⲛⲉ ⲉⲩⲧⲁⲓ̈ⲏⲩ.
30 because for the work of Christ, he drew nigh to death, not regarding his life, that he might fully supply the want of your service toward me.
